Glen Oaks Community College has announced that women’s head basketball coach Morgan Balcom is stepping down after accepting a new job out of state.

“These last five years at Glen Oaks have been truly a blessing,” said Balcom. “Once being a player for the program and then being the head coach was truly a great experience. We changed the culture and started to build something special again at Glen Oaks.”

“The credit goes to the young ladies who put all of their heart and soul into the program to bring it back up from the bottom,” said Balcom. “To all of you, I thank you for being great students first and athletes second.”

Balcom served as head coach for the past five years, and was the assistant coach for a year prior to that.

She extends a hearlfelt thanks to Glen Oaks, the players, athletic directors and assistant coaches to help the program grow.

Assistant coach Gabriel Russell is serving as interim head coach through the end of the season.
